National Republican., 1887-07-20

The big sluggers from Detroit made their
appearance yesterday afternoon at Capitol
Park and engaged in q rattling ten-inning
contest with the Washingtons which re-
suited In tie, both clubs scoring two runs
each when the game was called on account
OF darkness, much TO the regret OF the l 200
spectators present, who were anxious to see
the game played to finish. Both clubs
were on their mettle and played tho great
national game for all It was worth. Sharp
and brIlliant fielding was the order of the
day and in this respect the home club ex-
celled their opponents and executed several
remarkable playe that called forth perfect
tornado Of applause. Cannon ball drives
to the in1eld were handled In superb style,
while long running catches were frequently
made by the outleldere Of the homo team,
and all In all the game was most enjoy
able one.
The only feature which marred the davis
sport was Uanlon's constant "kickingn
against what he claimed was Shaw's illegal
delivery; but Notwithstanding his vigorous
protests, the gentleman from Massachu-
setts continued to twirl the ball In a decep-
tive manner and completely puzzled the
heavy batters facing him, with the excep-
tion Of Brouthers and Twitchell, who bat
ted the sphere pretty much as they pleased.
Hines and Hanlon were the run getters for
their representative mines, each OF them
making the two runs scored by their re-
spectiye clubs.
The Washingtons opened up In busi-
| ness like manner and scored u run. Car
| Ioil hit the first ball pitched and was re-
| tired at first. Then Hines knocked the
sheepskin for two bases; Daily followed
| Paul with base hit and the latter player
| crossed the plate. The visitors tied the
| game, after two hands were out In the sec
ond inning. Hanlon trotted TO first on
called balls, ,and on Illness error Of Twi,ch.
| ellis base hit made his run. The Senators
lines Ggain made circuit Of the bases by
| reat hing first on force out, stealing sec.
ond, and coming home on Daiiy's second
| hit. From this point up to the last half ol
the ninth inning each club struggled man
fully to add runs to their total, but without
avail, as the contendipg pitchers, backed
by the respective felders, worked like
beavers and run-getting was an impossi-
bility. In the last half Of the ninth, how
ever, the visiting delegation recovered
their second wind, and as In the second
inning, when they made their first run
after two hands were retired Hanlon drovi
the sheepskin for two bases and wal
botted home by Twitchell, who du
plicated Ned's hit for two bags
The tenth inning was then played
without either side gaining any advantage
and the eleventh began, but was not fin
ished when the game was called, much Il
the regret Of the spectators, who wanted Il
see 1t played to the bitter end.
Little DoDnelly gave remarkable ex
hibition of fielding at third base and mad
stops and throws that were simply phenom
enal. Indeed, had 1t not been for his skill
IN handling the hard hit balls batted to hi
territory the score would not have been
tie, but instead a victory for Detroit. Far
rell was injured In the sixth inning Will
sliding to second base, and his position
was filed by O'Day. Score:
